2. Description of the Related Art The phosphor surface of a plasma display has
A honeycomb type glass structure is used (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-1
26235). In this glass structure, glass walls are arranged in a lattice pattern, and form a large number of cells partitioned by the glass walls. A glass structure having a large number of very fine cells is usually formed by p-CVD (Plasma Chemical Vapor Depo).
sition) method, patterning method, etc.
It is manufactured by the same process as an electronic device.

On the other hand, a large-sized plasma display used in a theater or an outdoor stage requires a cell having a height and width of 5 mm and a glass wall having a thickness of 2 mm.

In addition, a large investment is required for equipment for manufacturing the required precision.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below using specific examples. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a method for manufacturing a honeycomb glass structure manufactured by the present invention. In the present invention, a honeycomb glass structure 2 in which long glass plates 1 as shown in the figure are assembled in a lattice shape is manufactured. The method and apparatus for manufacturing the glass plate 1 shown in the figure will be described in Example 1, and then the method and apparatus for manufacturing the honeycomb glass structure shown in FIG. 1 will be described in Example 2 and subsequent examples.

<Specific Example 1> In this specific example, a method and an apparatus for manufacturing a high aspect ratio glass sheet suitable for manufacturing a honeycomb glass structure will be introduced. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an apparatus for manufacturing a high aspect ratio glass plate. The apparatus shown in the figure includes a support portion 11 for supporting a plate-shaped base material 12, an extension portion 18 for applying a tension to one end (lower end) of the base material 12, and heating and extending the base material 12 in a longitudinal direction; , A covering unit 15. The stretching portion 18 is a heater 1 for heating the base material 12.
3 and a take-up machine 16 for taking the base material 12 downward for stretching, and a take-up machine 17 for taking up the manufactured glass sheet 1.

The monitoring controller 14 monitors at least one of the width and the thickness of the stretched glass sheet 1 so that the width or the thickness becomes the same as that of the strip-shaped glass sheet having a required aspect ratio. In addition, it has a function of controlling the take-up speed of the take-up machine 16. Although not specifically shown, for example, a thickness sensor for optically measuring the thickness of the glass plate 1 in a non-contact manner, and comparing the output of the thickness sensor with the required reference thickness data of the glass plate, The take-up speed is controlled such that the take-up speed of the take-up machine 16 is reduced if the reference thickness data is larger, and the take-up speed of the take-up machine 16 is increased if the reference thickness data is smaller.

The plate-shaped base material 12 is made of, for example, synthetic quartz glass. The aspect ratio is selected to be substantially the same as the required aspect ratio of the glass plate, for example, 50: 1. The aspect ratio refers to the ratio between the width a and the thickness b of the base material 12, as shown in the right circle in FIG. The above manufacturing apparatus applies a tension to one end of the base material 12 and heat-stretches the base material 12 in the longitudinal direction to reduce its cross-sectional area while maintaining the original aspect ratio. The board can be manufactured continuously.

The covering part 15 is provided for the drawn glass sheet 1.
Is a device for coating the resin 8 on the peripheral surface. As shown in the circle on the left side of FIG. 2, the resin 8 is coated so as to cover the peripheral surface of the glass plate 1, and mechanically protects the glass plate 1 during a later manufacturing process. As the resin 8, for example, a polyimide-based thermosetting resin that is peeled at a temperature lower than the softening temperature of the glass plate is suitable. The resin may be a thermoplastic or sublimable resin, or may be a resin that is well soluble in a solvent. For example, a urethane-based or epoxy-based UV-curable resin, or a thermosetting resin such as silicone can be used. The one that peels below the softening temperature of the glass plate is selected because, when the resin is peeled off from the glass plate in the final step thermally or by a solvent or other method, heat that adversely affects the glass plate is not added. That's why. The method of peeling the resin may be freely selected according to the properties of the resin.

FIG. 3 shows dimensional data of the glass plate 1 manufactured from a plurality of sample base materials 12 by the apparatus shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, each sample A1, A2, A3, A4,
In each of A5 and A6, when the base material 12 was heated and stretched as described above, the glass plate 1 having the required aspect ratio was obtained. This data does not include the thickness of the resin coated on the glass plate 1.

<Effect of Specific Example 1> As described above, the aspect ratio of the plate-shaped base material 12 is selected to be the same as the required aspect ratio of the glass plate, and the base material 12 is tensioned at one end thereof. In addition, if the sheet is stretched by heating in the longitudinal direction, a large number of strips of the thin glass plate 1 having a high aspect ratio can be continuously produced. Also, if stretched with uniform tension, the width and thickness of the manufactured thin glass plate are constant, and a sufficiently long glass plate can be obtained.
No advanced polishing technology is required.

Further, at the time of manufacture, the monitoring control unit 14
By monitoring at least one of the width and thickness of the stretched glass sheet 1, the take-up speed of the stretching section 18 is adjusted so that the width or thickness becomes the same as that of the strip-shaped glass sheet having the required aspect ratio. By performing the addition / subtraction control, a practical facility for continuously manufacturing a large amount of glass plates having a high aspect ratio is realized.

Further, if the resin 8 is coated on the peripheral surface of the glass plate 1 after the stretching, the glass plate 1 is mechanically protected during the subsequent process using the glass plate 1.
There is an effect that scratches and breakage hardly occur and the yield is remarkably improved. In addition, by coating the resin 8 that peels off from the surface of the glass plate at a temperature equal to or lower than the softening temperature of the glass plate 1, the resin 8 can be removed without applying heat or external force that adversely affects the glass plate 1 in a subsequent process. It can be completely removed to produce the desired product.

<Example 2> In this example, an apparatus for manufacturing the honeycomb-type glass structure 2 shown in FIG. 1 is provided. In order to manufacture the honeycomb glass structure 2 shown in FIG.
It is necessary to cut the glass plate 1 manufactured in the specific example 1 into equal lengths and arrange them in parallel at a predetermined pitch.
In this specific example, the spacer 3 shown in FIG. 1 is used for that purpose. The spacer 3 is formed of a block in which a large number of slits 4 for accommodating glass plates are formed at equal intervals at a pitch for realizing a required honeycomb structure. The material may be metal or plastic.

Further, as shown in the figure, in the present invention, the long glass plate 1 manufactured in the embodiment 1 is continuously drawn into the glass plate storing slit 4 of the spacer 3. For this,
A guide 5 that guides the glass plate 1 sequentially into the slits 4 of the spacer 3 while meandering the tape-shaped glass plate 1.
Prepare When the glass plate 1 is pushed into the slit 4 in the direction of arrow A, a half-pipe-shaped guide 5 as shown in the figure is suitable. When the glass plate 1 is guided in the slit 4 while being drawn in the distal direction, a guide 5 such as a roller (not shown) is suitable. In this case, the use of a lubricant reduces the pull-in resistance.

After the glass plate 1 is meandered as described above, the portion of the glass plate 1 protruding from the slit 4 of the spacer 3 is cut off. Further, the substrate 7 is covered so as to cover the upper surface of the spacer 3, and the upper end surfaces of all the glass plates 1 are bonded to the substrate 7. Before the portion of the spacer 3 protruding from the slit 4 is cut off, the end face of the glass plate 1 is brought into contact with the substrate 7 in a meandering state. It is possible. The results are shown in the center of the figure.

The center of FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the glass structure with the glass plate 1 up and the substrate 7 down. According to the present invention, a glass structure in which a large number of glass plates 1 are arranged on a substrate in parallel at a constant pitch can be precisely manufactured at once. Not only the honeycomb structure but also such a glass structure can be used for the plasma display. Furthermore, if a glass plate partition is provided so as to intersect these glass plates 1 at right angles, the honeycomb glass structure 2 shown at the bottom of FIG. 1 can be manufactured.
The method of inserting a glass plate into the slit 4 of the spacer 3 is not limited to the above example. The glass plate 1 cut to the length of the slit 4 may be inserted into the slit 4 one by one.

More specifically, a glass plate 1 having a width of 2 mm and a thickness of 0.2 mm is inserted into a slit 4 having a width of 2.1 mm and a pitch of 1 cm.
Is guided to the spacer 3 provided with.
A glass substrate 7 provided with a groove 7A having a pitch of 1 mm and a depth of 0.1 mm and a depth of 0.1 mm was prepared, and the end face of each glass plate 1 was bonded to the groove 7A of the substrate 7 with a thermosetting adhesive. Thus, FIG.
A glass plate 1 described above was arranged on a substrate 7 and completed. The groove 7A of the substrate 7 may not be provided, but if provided, the positioning accuracy and mechanical strength are improved.

There are various methods for providing a large number of partitions so as to intersect the glass plate 1 at right angles. Here, one example will be described. FIG. 4 is a view in which a new slit 9 is further added to the spacer 3 of FIG. 1, (a) is a perspective view of the spacer, and (b) is a schematic top view of the spacer. In the illustrated spacer 3, a cutter guide groove 9 formed at a predetermined pitch so as to be orthogonal to the slit 4 for storing a glass plate.
Are formed. Along this cutter guide groove 9,
When a cutter (not shown) is slid, cuts can be formed in all the glass plates 1 stored in the slits 4 for storing glass plates. FIG. 3B shows the positional relationship between the glass plate 1 pushed into the slit 4 of the spacer 3 and the guide 5 used for guiding the glass plate 1. The glass plate 1 is pushed in as shown by the arrow A in FIG. Further, the cutter is guided in the direction shown by the arrow B in FIG.

FIG. 5A is a side view of the glass plate 20 in which the cuts 21 are formed. (B) is a perspective view showing a state in which the two glass plates 20 are joined, (c) is a side view of the joining apparatus, and (d) is a perspective view of the honeycomb type glass structure completed in this way. Each of the cuts 21 is selected to have a length of about half the width of the glass plate 20. As shown in (b), the glass plate 20 having the cuts 21 formed thereon and the other glass plate 22 having the cuts 23 formed in the same manner are joined so that the cuts 21 and 23 are engaged with each other.

The coupling processing apparatus for performing such processing has a function of holding the spacers 3 shown in FIG.
What is necessary is just to have a function of dropping the glass plate downward from the upper spacer. That is, as shown in FIG. 5C, the upper spacer 3A and the lower spacer 3B are connected to each glass plate 20,
The cuts 21 and 23 of 22 are arranged so as to face each other as shown in (b), and the upper glass plate 20 is dropped to join them. For example, the upper spacer 3A and the lower spacer 3
By applying ultrasonic vibration while holding B in the state shown in the figure,
Many glass plates 20 can be dropped downward.

<Effect of Specific Example 2> As described above, the spacer having the slits for accommodating the glass plate and the tape-like glass plate meandering at the pitch for realizing the required honeycomb structure is formed. However, a large number of glass plates can be arranged in parallel at a predetermined arrangement pitch by the guides for sequentially guiding the glass plates into the slits of the spacer. In addition, by a mechanism that slides the cutter along a cutter guide groove formed at a predetermined pitch so as to be orthogonal to the glass plate storage slit of the spacer, all the glass plates stored in the glass plate storage slit are The cuts can be formed all at once while maintaining a predetermined arrangement pitch.

Further, the glass plate having the cuts formed thereon and the other glass plate having the cuts formed in the same manner are joined together so that the cuts are engaged with each other. The honeycomb glass structure can be completed from the plate group, and the manufacturing process is simplified. Further, a glass plate having a cut formed therein and another glass plate having a cut formed in the same manner are arranged such that the cuts face each other,
By holding one above the other and connecting them while applying vibration, the two glass plate groups can be automatically connected at once. Moreover, since no unnecessary external force is applied, there is an effect that the glass plate group is not damaged.

<Embodiment 3> This embodiment provides a method of manufacturing a honeycomb glass structure in which the distance between the respective glass plates is adjusted by a method different from that of Embodiment 2. In the specific example 2, the glass plates were arranged at a constant pitch using the spacers. However, the glass plates can be arranged without special spacers, for example, by utilizing the thickness of the resin coated on the glass plates.

FIG. 6A is a sectional view of a glass sheet group for explaining the manufacturing method of the third embodiment, FIG. 6B is an end view of one glass sheet 1, and FIG. 6C is another manufacturing method. It is sectional drawing of a glass plate group. In this example, as shown in FIG.
A glass plate 1 coated with a resin 30 that separates from the surface of the glass plate at a temperature equal to or lower than the softening temperature of the glass plate 1 is used. When a plurality of glass plates 1 are laminated by the coated resin 30 of thickness d, each glass plate 1
Are 2d. This is a pitch for realizing the required honeycomb structure.

In order to stack the glass plates 1 as shown in FIG. 1A, a plurality of glass plates 1 having a cross section as shown in FIG. It may be. After forming notches at intervals of 2d perpendicular to these by using a cutter on the laminated glass plates, the end faces of the glass plate group are bonded to the substrate 7 as shown in FIG. Thereafter, the resin 30 may be removed by heat treatment or the like. After that, another glass plate group in which the cuts are formed in the same manner is arranged so that the cuts face each other, and the two are joined. If one of the substrates is removed, FIG.
The honeycomb glass structure 2 shown in (d) is obtained.

The above method is suitable when the required pitch between the glass plates 1 is relatively narrow. If the pitch is wide, a thick resin coating is required, but a too thick resin coating has low accuracy in thickness. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6C, a tape-shaped spacer 31 is separately sandwiched. The thickness of the spacer 31 and the thickness of the resin 30 may be selected so that the total of twice the thickness of the resin 30 and the thickness of the spacer 31 becomes a pitch for realizing the honeycomb structure. For example, the spacer 31 is made of the same material as that of the resin 30, and both are collectively collected at an appropriate timing.
Remove from between. Other processing may be the same as the example of (a).

<Effect of Specific Example 3> As described above, when a plurality of glass plates coated with a resin that peels off from the glass plate surface at a temperature equal to or lower than the softening temperature of the glass plate are laminated, the distance between the respective glass plates is If the thickness of the resin is selected so as to have a pitch for realizing the required honeycomb structure, the glass plate groups can be arranged in parallel at a predetermined pitch without preparing a special spacer.

In addition, the resin can be thermally separated in a subsequent step without applying heat or an external force that adversely affects the glass plate, so that it is suitable for mass production. Further, since the glass plate is mechanically protected by the resin during the manufacturing process of the honeycomb glass structure, there is an effect that scratches and breakage hardly occur and the yield is remarkably improved.

When a plurality of glass plates coated with resin are laminated with a spacer having a predetermined thickness interposed therebetween, the intervals between the respective glass plates are adjusted so as to be the pitch for realizing the required honeycomb structure. By selecting the spacer and the thickness of the resin, it is possible to cope with a case where the arrangement pitch of the glass plates is wide and the thickness of the resin is insufficient. If the spacer is also a thermoplastic resin, it can be easily removed and removed.
